About the Poor Story font
Poor Story is a display typeface designed by Yoon Design, first released to Google Fonts on February 2018. It ships with 1 weight and is licenced under the SIL Open Font License, which permits commercial use in websites, apps, documents and print without attribution or payment.
Its measured character is a medium x-height at 68% of the cap height, condensed letter forms and low stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Poor Story against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
